They had no idea
what they were doing.

That was
the point.

Every story below started with zero experience. These are the people who showed up anyway — and left with something they made entirely by hand. No shortcuts. No prior skills. Just the work, and the result.

After retirement, I gave myself a challenge: making a luxury bag. I did it in 5 days — as a complete beginner.
After retirement, I decided to give myself a challenge: making a luxury bag! De Bloo's Intensive Elis Boston Bag class was perfect. Sure, I was nervous at first, never touched leather before. But the De Bloo team? Amazing! They guided me every step of the way, turning a complete beginner into a proud owner of a stunning Elis Boston Bag in just 4.5 days! Thanks, De Bloo, for the skills and the incredible bag!

I travel as a solo parent with my 11-year-old. De Bloo welcomed my son while I made my dream bag!
I travel in BKK as a Solo parent with my 11 y/o son and I really want to make Verra and De Bloo saved the day! Their intensive is the best program for me as a mom who found this workshop during travel. The trip was tight, but De Bloo was amazing. They welcomed my son while I made my dream bag (learned, laughed, and maybe struggled a bit!). Not quiet, but it worked!☺️ The best part? They saw my son's spark and let him make his card case and even zipper wallet under their supervision. Thanks, De Bloo, for making our Bangkok trip unforgettable! Can’t wait to come back again when he’s old enough to make his own bag 🤣

Didn't know much English, but they took me in. Now, every year, I come from Korea just to De Bloo.
Went to Bangkok on short trip. Found De Bloo, didn't know much English, but they took me in! Started beginner course. Learned so much, got inspired to make more leather things! Teachers very kind, very patient. They make sure I learn good, give me confidence even though my English no good. Now, every year, I come all the way from Korea to Bangkok, just to De Bloo! Make more bags with them, learn new things. De Bloo is best experience I ever had in Thailand. Feels like home, you know? That's why I keep coming back for more and more!🙏🏻 If I can do it. You can do it!

I couldn't find any workshop that teaches round zipper wallets, so I flew from the Philippines. It was so fun.
I couldn’t find any workshop that teaches how to make a round zipper wallet so that’s why I flew overset from the Philippines to learn how to make one. It was so fun to be here.

I looked for years for a unique laptop case. Finally, I made my own with genuine leather — it's perfect.
I always dreamed of my special lap top case for McBook. I looked around many shops to buy something unique that fits into my lifestyle. But could not find for years. And finally I found de bloo studio to make my own style laptop case with genuine leather. It is same leather as used in big brand bags. And for with my own choice of color. Silver and red. Haha. And I create my own symbol to be closing part with button. That is fish. I really love fish. When it is open. It is fish. But when closed. It is just gentle decoration that nobody can find it fish. Anyhow i am so happy to make and use it. So perfect. Thanks all the beautiful artisans for nice guiding me to complete my masterpiece. I cannot buy new laptop because of so nice laptop case. ^^

I've been joining courses here for one and a half years and I still have a great time.
I have been joining courses here for one and a half year and I still have a great time here. The owner and the staff are really nice and skillful. They are very attentive and provide you very good service. There are many styles of bags you can learn and practice, i.e. from small leather products, such as key rings, cardholders, wallets etc., to clutches and handbags. The owner also designs some handbags herself and she also helps you to make the bags in your own design. How amazing it is. Also the quality of the leather is really good and there are many types and colors of leather for your choice. If you are a DIY person or a bag lover, you would indulge yourself in attending a class here.

We stumbled across this gem coincidently. It's the perfect way to create a personal souvenir of your time in Bangkok.
We stumbled across this gem of a place coincidently, which was a massive stroke of luck, because it’s not on the main road but tucked away just off of it. Iva has beautifully designed the workshop to be modern, homely and very professional. There is a whole variety of items you can complete in half a day or full day if you wish (I did half day and made a clutch, my hubby made a card wallet and a keyring), and the materials and tools they use are of professional finish and quality (you get to customise almost every aspect!!) The whole team are very talented leather craftsmen, speak great English, and are as hands-on(or hands-off) as you want and need! It’s such a fun and fulfilling way to spend your day in BKK to create a personal souvenir to remind you of your time in this amazing city! We had the best time, and discovered a newfound interest in this awesome hobby that we want to pursue further back home. We highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants a unique experience in a foreign city to add to their holiday! For the locals, it’s the perfect place to get trained up in leather craft, with trainers who know their stuff. We will definitely revisit when we’re back in town - thank you Iva and the team for your amazing hospitality & skills!

I didn't have any experience whatsoever. It just turned out really awesome — they even gave me a Christmas gift!
This experience was so amazing and unique!! I have made a really beautiful leather pouch with the competent help of Jiyeon and her team! It was soooo great, I didn't have any experience whatsoever before doing it and it just turned out really really awesome! They were all the time very helpful and overall so friendly and nice! We had so much fun during the process! Jiyeon even gave me a Christmas gift which I could work on during the time we had still left because the pouch was faster done than thought. I really can recommend this experience, nothing could have been better! Soo worth it! They even took photos of me during the process so I have the pouch, the photos AND the Christmas gifts, I feel really blessed! also check out their other experiences on their website such as making your own (really beautiful) leather bag yourself! I will sure come back.

I got a bag made in the first class. I had no previous skills. The teacher speaks well English and explains step by step so even a beginner like me can do the job! Fun to go together with friends. there are so many colorful leather layers you can choose from. The studio is in the city center, spacious and cosy itself! And in the 4th class you normally start making your own leather bag!
